He seems like a candidate for this years " over hyped combine king". Going into 17 he was a third round guy based on his play. He kills it at the " beauty contest" and some have him going as high as top 15.

I'm not usually a trade back guy in round 1 but unless a stud drops like Foster I'd prefer that. Earlier I knocked cook a bit for his average combine so I Checked out some "film" lol lol. I'd didn't watch a lot of his games now that I'm SEC, PAC and Big 10 focused. This kid is gifted. He reminded me of an Emmitt Smith with his cutting ability. He's same height weight as emmitt was at Florida

The draft at 17 doesn't align with our needs. If we can trade backwith KC do it and take Buddha Baker at FS. If we cant trade back take Cook

I also want Jake Butt the TE who got injured or may have been the top TE in class and would take him early 2 if we trade back again. Pro bowl talent like the Carolina TE

Two gifted playmakers.

Now what will Bruce do? Probably go Ross, Watson or the other quarterbacks. because we may not have cousins due to his mis-management

Jake Butt was never the top TE in the class, that was always OJ Howard. Even before Butt got hurt it was thought he'd be a 2nd round pick. I don't think we should take him a round or 2 early. His injury knocked him down a round or two, like with what happened to Jaylon Smith and Kendall Fuller last year.

There is a question if Butt will even play at all in 2017 because of his knee injury. Taking him in round 2 with Reed and Davis already on our roster would equate to incompetence to me. That would be a very poor decision.

I don't know why we think Cook will be available, I think it's more likely Cook goes top 15 and a defensive player we like is available for us like Reddick who I believe is going to be a Ryan Shazier type LB._________________RIP SSFmike23md

Have you ever seen Reddick play in a game? Do you honestly believe that he only started to rise because of the combine, because that's not true. He began to rise when Nfl coaches and top scouts really got to review his film after the season was over, before the combine happened. He's been a projected 1st round pick for months. Some don't even think Reddick will be there for us at 17. Cooley said yesterday on air that he would trade up for Foster or Reddick because he likes them that much more than the other prospects that we could take at 17._________________RIP SSFmike23md

Really opening up to the idea of drafting McDowell at 17. If anyone can get him to reach his potential, it's Tomsula. Part of me thinks targeting McDowell in this draft is one of the reasons we hired Tomsula.

He could be our Alston Smith hopefully not the off the field version!!_________________

Agreed about Tomsula. I equate McDowell to Tuitt. If you remember Tuitt had a great Sophmore season at Notre Dame and it was expected during his junior year that he was going to take the next step and prove he was worth a top 10 pick. That didn't happen, he didn't have a great junior year and he fell to round 2. We actually traded down and passed on him - which I didn't agree with. He's been a great pro with 10.5 sacks in his first two years starting. I just think McDowell can have a similar projection and impact as Tuitt. McDowell may struggle some early on in his rookie year but I think eventually his talent will show through and he'll be an impact DE in the NFL by his second season and going forward._________________RIP SSFmike23md

McDowell compares to Stephon Tuitt or a tall lengthy 3-4 DE, not an OLB.

The player on our team who compares to Aldon Smith is Preston Smith. They're similar is size, length and ability.

Aldon Smith - 6'4, 265
Preston Smith - 6'5, 268

I'm comparing more to the on the field when focused they just can't be blocked and not because their fundamentals. Just their freak abilities if they really honed in on their craft they could be unblockable_________________
